R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Motivation Education & Training, Incorporated 
(MET), Youth Program has made a commendable difference in the lives 
of South Texas migrant students; and
	WHEREAS, Incorporated in 1967, this nonprofit organization 
provides academic and vocational training to migrant and seasonal 
farmworkers in an attempt to further the economic self-sufficiency 
of participants; many young people in the Eagle Pass area have 
benefited from the MET Youth Program, which has given migrant 
students an opportunity to finish high school or earn a GED; and
	WHEREAS, For farmworker teens, this program puts within reach 
what may have once seemed an unattainable goal, as harvest often 
calls migrant families away before each school year ends, keeping 
these students from completing their studies; and
	WHEREAS, Education empowers children to reach their full 
potential for healthy and productive living through the acquisition 
of increased skills and knowledge; the MET Youth Program has helped 
countless Lone Star youths achieve goals and make dreams of a bright 
future a sound reality; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby recognize the Motivation 
Education & Training, Inc., Youth Program for its many 
contributions to South Texas teens and commend its student 
participants for remaining committed to the vital pursuit of 
knowledge through education; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Motivation Education & Training, Inc., as an 
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
